Multifocal Paraneoplastic Cortical Encephalitis Associated With Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma Arch Neurol 66:1407-1409, Hammoud,K.,et al, 2009 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Thymoma and myasthenia gravis may be associated with other autoimmune neurological disorders including paraneoplastic encephalitis. This second case of thymoma-associated multifocal cortical encephalitis demonstrates that autoimmune encephalitis can extend the cortical regions outside the limbic system. Autoimmune encephalitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with myasthenia gravis or thymoma who develop new cognitive symptoms.
